City of Moorabbin

The City of Moorabbin was a local government area about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia.

The city covered an area of 53.13 square kilometres (20.51 sq mi), and existed from 1862 until 1994.

It became a shire on 27 January 1871, and was essentially rural in character, relying on the villages on its western side for services.

Eventually, with the development of areas such as Bentleigh and Cheltenham within the shire's boundaries, Moorabbin was proclaimed a city, on 10 October 1934.

A new town hall, designed by Bates, Smart and McCutcheon, was officially opened in 1963, near the Moorabbin railway station.
